    “We had such a lovely stay and would highly recommend this cottage.”

    The setting is beautiful, the property was spotlessly clean, and everything was finished to a really high standard. Games room was epic! The hosts were excellent—friendly, kind, and very responsive to any questions we had, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The only small downside was the 9:30am check-out time, which felt a little early and made the last morning feel a bit rushed. A slightly later check-out would have made the stay absolutely perfect.

The property

Rhayader 4.5 miles.

A delightful detached cottage set in open countryside with mountain views from all aspects, in a rural location 4.5 miles from Rhayader.

Created from two separate properties, this picturesque Rhayader cottage stands alone at the end of a single farm track in the most peaceful location.

Full of character, this pretty Rhayader cottage retains many original features including open beams, flagged floors, wooden floorboards throughout the first floor and wonderful open fireplaces.

The lovely large kitchen table with settle seating is perfect for family meals, followed by relaxation in the superb sitting room or the very large games room, specifically adapted from an old barn with vaulted beamed ceiling, a cosy woodburner, comfy seats, a TV and DVD, a pool table, table football and table tennis.

Enjoy alfresco dining in the pretty cottage garden, which has an area large enough to enjoy a friendly game of football, or explore the local countryside with walks from the doorstep.

You may well see Red Kites overhead, along with all the other birdlife around the cottage, but do visit the Red Kite feeding station in nearby Rhayader for an experience never to be forgotten.

The Elan Valley lakes and the many shows and exhibitions at the Royal Welsh Showground offer varied days out for all the family.

A terrific, welcoming Rhayader cottage for all ages.

Rhayader is a small Welsh market town with a selection of tea rooms, pubs, restaurants, amenities and unique little boutiques, including local antiques.

The Elan Valley offers a variety of walks and cycle trails (cycle hire is available in Rhayader), as well as a visitor’s centre with café and children's play area. This area is known as the Wildlife Centre of Wales, with its amazing variety of nature reserves open for visitors to enjoy. There is also pony trekking available in the area.
